Can't afford a a high-flying UFO with all the balls n whistles?
How bout a pre-paid number from Island airlines? - only dropped once,
doesn't look too bad on paper, some re-assembly required.  Yes ...
then the Yashin Floatplane is the wings for you.
"Alexei would be highly intrigued to play in Ottawa," Gandler said
Tuesday. "He has no issues coming back there, regardless of having
been booed there in the past, regardless of what transpired there in
the past."
Highly intrigued ...  It would have been more fun if Gandler had said
- "Ottawa?  They caused all his problems.  He won't go back there."
The cities the articles lists are Montreal, Edmonton, Washington,
Philadelphia, New Jersey and Ottawa.
Montreal - nope, one Samsanov was enov.
New Jersey - nope, they just finished paying off the Mogilny hip,
they're not going to pick up the Yashin trip
Washington - nope, Washington is building a brand new team
Filadelphia - not out of the question, just out of their mind
Edmonton - can't see a smart org doing anything that dumb
Best bet - Russia
2nd Choices - Florida, Phoenix, Boston, Chicago, Las Vegas"

Yea there's a message board somewhere promoting the Washington
rumour.  All I could think of was "You're nat gaining a Yashin, you're
losing an Ovetchkin.""

I'm actually intrigued.    But, not "highly intrigued."
Depends on the price and the years.   If he's looking for
a couple of year deal to rehab his image, why the hell not?   He wouldn't be 
the biggest waste of $$$ on our roster, that's for sure, if he makes less 
than Madden."

I think Washington will be smart enough to pass,  they have that kid 
backstrom signed and he will get a chance with Ovechkin or Semin.
If he stumbles then maybe they bite,  but.  I don't see them leading the 
charge.
